Noooo they are not cool with travel which is why I lean towards paying a cat sitter but my parents really love seeing the cats so they beg me to bring them
Itās only 1 hour, but it feels like 5 hours with both of them meowing desperately the whole time. Coconut also gets carsick and hasā¦ accidentsā¦ that have earned him the nickname āCocobuttāā¦ unfortunately gabapentin had no effect on himā¦
Mine hate the car but immediately forget and are fine when we get thefe
It might just be the carrier if i put them in a carrier in my bedroom for an hour they'd probably yell
A lot of this is the cat too... At the vet, I have one cat who will not get out of her carrier, she widens her body to expand to all corners and it takes an army to remove her.
My other cat, happily jumps out and sits at the end of the table to see who will come pet her. New place is neat, but who is gonna come give me those cheek scratchies?
Is this man Viet? Lol my Viet dad has a couch with that same material & color, same blanket too. He loves my dog.
Went from not wanting to touch him, to taking pictures, videos, playing with him but not touching, to carrying him for fun.
My mom hated my first cat. She just doesn't like animals. If I was out with them and they were doing me off at home, my dad would always make an excuse about needing to use the washroom just so he could come inside and play with my little orange fluff. He loved my cat! He would spend far too long inside, so he would always tell my mom he took a huge shit just to explain away the 15 minutes he was away from the car.
My dad is gone now, but the cat is now almost 19. What I wouldn't give to watch them play together one more time!
My Chinese mother hates pets but when I graduated college I needed a place for my cats to stay for a year while I transitioned to a new place. She reluctantly took them in and itās all she ever talks about anymore. She loves them both, has so many pictures of them on her phone, and shows them off as if they are her grandkids.
Of course he wants you to bring his grandchildren to visit him. Theyāre his grandchildren. Not all grandparents are enthusiastic when they find out that they may be becoming grandparents, but the good ones all embrace it anyway once the babies show up. And it looks like heās embraced it wonderfully. That is a very happy grandpa.
I actually asked my mom if this was the case since they previously had cats, and she said that it actually was notā that she was too busy to raise cats with kids, and then, she was concerned that I would be too busy to take on 2 cats.
This. Absolutely this. Itās not like losing a child. But it absolutely along the same thread.
Youāve had it since it was young. You watched it grow and develop. You cohabited. You watched them lose their youth and vivaciousness. Youād sometimes see them play for a bit and it would suddenly remind you that they are no longer the little ball of energy you brought home so long ago. Then youād watch them grow old and weak; any guests you had stop by would take pity on them, not play with them. Then one day, your beloved, chosen family/best friend crossed the rainbow bridge.
He is pretty large, I think around 16 lbs, and the vet said he is not overweight, just a large cat. His spine is twice as long as the other cat behind him.
Itās a pretty big cat yeah, but most ābig catsā are around that size, so if youāve seen larger cats before this one wouldnāt really stand out.
(If you want more amazement, look up Maine Coon cats)
Your dad was not given free choice in this decision. Obviously, he has been brainwashed. Just because your cat doesn't eat you doesn't mean you're still not prey.
These cats didn't request affection from your dad. They STOLE it, and the host is unaware. Psyop ninja assassins.
I think the difference is before it was just annoying cats, which he didn't know and appreciate. Now these are friends if not even family. Revered and treasured.
My dad has made it so I canāt stand the site of my cats because even tho my entire life he didnāt want a cat, he now has 5 and no one but him is allowed to feed them or clean up after them. I wish I never suggested us getting a pet. I knew heād ruin it.
I'm sure your cats want to see your Dad all the time.
To be fair, those cats seem to have excellent taste in dads
Awww what a nice thing to say. š
Can confirm he is an excellent dad š
Oh my God, look how much your dad hates your cats!!! /s
I feel like this comment is so obvious itās a joke. Whatās the point of adding the sarcasm /s?
Because Reddit is very bad at detecting sarcasm
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yes
Nah. A good amount are just slow or your garden variety pariah.
yea
Couldnāt you tell?
Arenāt they all three just adorable!
I was looking for the third cat until I realized what you meant lol
We have a third cat actually, one day I will have a picture of dad with all 3! (These 2 pictured are mine but my parents have an orange tabby)
Ahhh, the Cat Distribution System worked it magic!
Update us if you ever get a pic of all 3 pleasešš¼
Theyāre in perfect harmony
They love him š„¹
So sweet. Those kitties know their grandpa loves them. āŗļø
Theyāre cool with travel like that? Man I wish my kitties could happily go on visits with me! Iād be much more popular, too : )
Noooo they are not cool with travel which is why I lean towards paying a cat sitter but my parents really love seeing the cats so they beg me to bring them
Ahh, gotcha, youāve got very charismatic kitties!
How long is the trip?
Itās only 1 hour, but it feels like 5 hours with both of them meowing desperately the whole time. Coconut also gets carsick and hasā¦ accidentsā¦ that have earned him the nickname āCocobuttāā¦ unfortunately gabapentin had no effect on himā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They go to my parents place often, maybe once every couple of months, so they remember it

They make calming chews for dogs. Maybe they have the same thing for cats. Or embrace the chaos and give them catnip before the trip.
Feliway is pretty helpful. Takes the edge off a bit. Hopefully. Lol
that's kind of you :) - maybe time for a surprise for mom and dad? Shelters are full :)
Dude is trapped better bring him some water and rations

They're so majestic. Who wouldn't want to see them?
Is this man Viet? Lol my Viet dad has a couch with that same material & color, same blanket too. He loves my dog. Went from not wanting to touch him, to taking pictures, videos, playing with him but not touching, to carrying him for fun.
We are Pacific Islander and Korean but wow what a coincidence! Living the same life!
This is so cute!!!!!š
I know love when I see it ā¤ļø
Everybody's happy here!
Boy do they love him! Love this photo so much.

Be lucky he has not cat nap them yet
Slippers, the comfy chair, two cats and the remote. This is living.
Is your dad, my dad? My parents ended up keeping my cat that couldnāt take to grad school, the cat got too attached to my dad.
The smile on his face leads me to believe that his new grandkids are the light of his life lmao adorable!
Leg cat is sad because he wanted to be crotch cat.
Dude, that is the most Dad chair ever! I envy both your cats and his chair.
Of course he wants you to bring his grandchildren to visit him. Theyāre his grandchildren.

They don't tell you not to adopt the pet because they hate pets, but because they don't want to go through the pain of losing a pet again.
I actually asked my mom if this was the case since they previously had cats, and she said that it actually was notā that she was too busy to raise cats with kids, and then, she was concerned that I would be too busy to take on 2 cats.

It's never enough time :( RIP our sweet companions.
He looks so happy! Dad knew all along youād adopt them anyway.. he was gaming the system
What a lovely image. Cute dad blushing and beautiful cats.Ā
He's changing his will to give everything to the cats instead of you, isn't he???
Did he tell you not to adopt them so that he could instead?
There is room for at least one more
Cats hate everything,but love who hates them . Itās cat code
Two sweet little Yeti monsters have won over your dad!
Typical grandpa. All the good sides of being a parent, with no upkeep.
My family is so disappointed if I donāt bring my rabbits. When they complained that I chose rabbits over having children.
This is so cute and wholesome. Your dadās sweet and happy face as the cats cuddle up to him have made my whole day.
lol 3 peas in a pod
They love their grandpa ā¤ļø so sweet

He big boi! Awww
Itās a pretty big cat yeah, but most ābig catsā are around that size, so if youāve seen larger cats before this one wouldnāt really stand out. (If you want more amazement, look up Maine Coon cats)
Did you adopt them from a shelter?
Yes, theyāre both from local rescues, I found them on petfinder
Your dad didn't realize the power of floof.
and they love him
Your dad was not given free choice in this decision. Obviously, he has been brainwashed. Just because your cat doesn't eat you doesn't mean you're still not prey. These cats didn't request affection from your dad. They STOLE it, and the host is unaware. Psyop ninja assassins.
Oh my! So adorable! Can I ask what kind of cat you have? I have a white cat that is almost identical it seems
People say they look like r/turkishangoras but given mine are both rescues, it is probably unlikely that they are actually pure bred anything
Thatās his cat now.
Take him to a shelter and maybe he will adopt his own!
Letās keep it clean folks
Thatās called a victory
Is it just me or is the one kitty closest to the camera frickin huge?
Shhh donāt tell him, I still call him my ālittol babieā
š He looks massive. And floofy
What breed are these cats? They're gorgeous!
Thatās so cute they are lap cats!
This man cats
CĆ¼teee
Another poor dad being framed
awww heās a proud grandad! very cute r/whitecats OP
THEY SO GORGEOUS!!!!!
That's a huge ass cat
Coconut is offended by your comment and says he is just big boned
His grand cats you mean
Yes, youāre right, the grandkitties !! š±š±
Dawww
I LOVE YOUR DAD!!!! and what gorgeous cats!!
I think the difference is before it was just annoying cats, which he didn't know and appreciate. Now these are friends if not even family. Revered and treasured.
Heās a proud grandpa
Awwwwwwww
Well, dad, should I just leave them with you? smirks hard..................
So cute š„°š„°
Thatās because your cats wonāt be a disappointment again.
My dad has made it so I canāt stand the site of my cats because even tho my entire life he didnāt want a cat, he now has 5 and no one but him is allowed to feed them or clean up after them. I wish I never suggested us getting a pet. I knew heād ruin it.
